Evaluating the Role of α‐Synuclein Seed Amplification as a Disease Progression Marker: Evidence and Uncertainties

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background α‐synuclein seeding amplification assay (α‐synuclein SAA) development as a diagnostic biomarker for Parkinson's disease (PD) has shown promising results over the past decade. However, the utility of these assays in the prediction of disease progression is unclear.

Computer Vision Analysis for Objective Motor Assessment in Parkinson's Disease: A Retrospective Study

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The Movement Disorder Society‐Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale‐Part III (MDS‐UPDRS‐III) is subjective and insensitive to subtle changes in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Computer vision (CV) can extract objective kinematics from routine outpatient videos, potentially augmenting the accuracy of the motor assessment ...

Alzheimer's Biomarkers and Visuospatial Cognition in Parkinson's Disease: Modification by α‐Synuclein and Mediation of Age Effects

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Visuospatial deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD) often precede dementia and complicate daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology and α‐synuclein aggregation frequently co‐occur in PD, but their combined impact on cognition is unclear.

Relaxed fibronectin: a potential novel target for imaging endometriotic lesions

EJNMMI Research
Background Endometriosis is characterized by the ectopic occurrence of endometrial tissue. Though considered benign, endometriotic lesions possess tumor-like properties such as tissue invasion and remodeling of the extracellular matrix.

Discordance of Dopaminergic Dysfunction and Subcortical Atrophy by α‐Synuclein Status in Sporadic and Genetic Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by predominantly neuronal α‐synuclein pathology and dopaminergic dysfunction. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seeding amplification assays (SAA) detect α‐synuclein aggregates in vivo, but not all patients with PD have a positive SAA.

Clinical and Imaging Characteristics of Parkinson's Disease with Negative Alpha‐Synuclein Seed Amplification Assay

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The cerebrospinal fluid alpha‐synuclein seed amplification assay (CSFasynSAA) detects alpha‐synuclein aggregation in over 90% of individuals with sporadic PD (sPD). However, the clinical characteristics of sPD with negative CSFasynSAA remain undefined.

Early Autonomic Burden in Prodromal Parkinson's Disease Predicts Cognitive Impairment

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Autonomic dysfunction is a known contributor to cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD), but its impact during prodromal stage is unknown. Objective The aim was to determine whether early autonomic burden predicts incident cognitive impairment in prodromal PD.
